Laura James Jewelry.com Goes Eco-Glam

Charlotte, NC, July 27, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Known for her runway-inspired jewelry designs, Laura James of Laura James Jewelry (www.laurajamesjewelry.com) introduces an eco-vibe to her latest collections for 2007. Continuing to create quality, high fashion jewelry, James stays on the trend track this season with the environment in mind. Her Cristalle Collection offers a glamorous take on the Green Movement with vintage recycled crystals in every design. The SoHo Collection is a daintier group of necklaces incorporating vintage rosary wood beads and carved jade pendants. Both collections also feature semi-precious stones and fine metals such as fourteen karat gold fill, twenty-two karat vermeil and sterling silver intertwined through each piece. Lastly, her Metals Collection is a nod to the emerging Arts and Crafts movement currently sweeping the runways. In this collection James showcases her metalsmithing techniques obtained at Penland School of Craft with handmade acid-etched floral brass discs that dangle from vintage crystal and hand-forged wire.

"It is exciting to be able to create jewelry that is not only coveted to be worn, but ultimately benefits us in the long run," said Designer James. "The education is out there to teach us how to make this world a better place and utilizing that information into our own craft is our responsibility. The challenge of incorporating the latest runway trends into jewelry that women everywhere have access to and to be able to simultaneously make a difference is ultimately my goal in this business."

Using recycled vintage materials, semi-precious and organic stones, gold and silver, James aims to create high quality jewelry with an affordable edge. Prices in the Laura James Jewelry collection range from $30-300 and can be purchased online at www.laurajamesjewelry.com in addition to over thirty specialty boutiques in six states.
